Scouting deer as season nears
When it comes to deer numbers, the DNR often is criticized for overestimating and underestimating the herd in the same place, Clute said.
"We release a number, and the hunters get furious and say it's way too big," he said. "At the same time, the agricultural interests say, 'Those idiots in the DNR don't know what they are talking about. We have three times that many deer.' "
